The census also shows a newborn boy named Walter and there is a gap of 7 years to the next oldest of the 3 other daughters living with Russell. Logically this sounds as if the oldest daughter born 7 years ago was probably born to Susan Whisler whereas the newborn boy was most likely born to Russell's second wife, Beulah. . Russell married Susan Lucille Whisler, daughter of Joseph Henry Whisler and Eunice A. Wymer, about 1927.1 (Susan Lucille Whisler was born on 3 November 1910 in Muscatine, IA,1 3 4 5 6 7 8 died on 17 December 1973 in Muscatine, IA 5 8 and was buried after 17 December 1973 in Muscatine, IA 8.)   Noted events in their marriage were: • They appeared on the 1930 US Census in Fruitland Township, Muscatine, IA on April 1930. 1 1930 US Census Sheet 5A, District 0003, Household 64, Roll 670 Fruitland Township, Muscatine County, Iowa Russell W.
